Bring your classic boat for a relaxed morning cruise around West Lake Okoboji! We'll meet just outside the Arnolds Park docks at 9:00 AM. A professional photographer will be capturing both photos and video—if you'd like your boat captured, feel free to arrive a bit early!
Join us in Arnolds Park at the Okoboji Spirit Center, the Maritime Museum has amassed a vast collection of local photographs, articles and artifacts from the Iowa Great Lakes early ‘golden days’ of boating. Special features of the museum include a fully restored boathouse and 25 classic wooden runabouts.
This is a non-affiliated ticketed event hosted by Arnolds Park, so please purchase your own concert tickets.

Just like 2023’s Rendezvous, we’re bringing back the exciting People’s Choice Award—where the public gets to decide the winner by scanning QR codes located throughout the event!
Guided by Okoboji Fire & Rescue and the Iowa DNR, we’ll cruise together through the bridges connecting East and West Lake Okoboji. It's a unique and unforgettable part of the weekend you won’t want to miss!
